Adam is right. As usual. The Russian dissident had the courage to stand up to Putin. Our REP reps can’t muster the courage to stand against autocrats. Like Putin. And Trump.

"I like a good game," GOP Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona told CNN. "They played a good game. I don't like that we lost." This isn’t pickleball, Congressman. It’s long past time to get serious about governing. abc7chicago.com/amp/house-re…

The Iowa caucuses are a threat to democracy. See the many reasons why in this article: a very limited number of voters who are not reflective of US voters have an outsized effect. Why are we still doing this?

via @NYTimes Well at least enough Republicans did the right thing to remove this guy. Truth - and being truthful - matters. Except to Andy Biggs and his friends who voted otherwise. nytimes.com/interactive/2023…

Former first lady Rosalynn Carter dead at 96

Lots of good to say about this woman: humanitarian, “equal partner“ to her president husband, activist in promoting caring about others… Her life was Christianity in action.

While Israel’s cause is just, this pause in fighting is needed for humanitarian reasons. Hamas must be defeated and held accountable for October 7 and the terror it brought on all Palestinians.

Agreed. And ineffective is dangerous!

.@AFSCME gave Rep. Biggs a labor grade of 0% for voting against legislation that grows the economy & helps working-class Arizonans.
Not only is Rep. Biggs extreme - he's ineffective.

“Gaetz and [Biggs] blew up the House, destroyed …McCarthy, torpedoed .. Scalise, and watched Trump shiv Tom Emmer. They bullied. harassed, and exhausted the majority, and on Wednesday they got a full-throated election denier and coup-plotter as speaker.” open.substack.com/pub/thebul…

Fascinating. Led by our own @RepAndyBiggsAZ and his favorite colleague, Matt Gaetz, this gang is facing the consequences of blowing up the speaker without having a replacement.
The eight House Republicans who voted to oust former Speaker Kevin McCarthy made their colleagues an eye-catching offer: If GOP holdouts vote for Jim Jordan as speaker, they'd accept "censure, suspension or removal from the conference." politico.com/live-updates/20…

McCarthy: “This is a whole new concept of individuals that just want to burn the whole place down. That doesn't work." @RepAndyBiggsAZ doesn’t care. He is part of the problem with our paralyzed government. apple.news/A0-pB22GpQQuiYhOv…

Andy Biggs isn’t very bright. Apparently today he tried to blame Merrick Garland for something that happened BEFORE Garland took office. AZ can do so much better than Biggs.

This is a disturbing trend. Political leaders need to do more than just talk about it. Be kind. pbs.org/newshour/amp/show/ho…

It’s tough to see some of the images coming out of Hawai’i — a place that’s so special to so many of us. Michelle and I are thinking of everyone who has lost a loved one, or whose life has been turned upside down.

The Principles First Summit was implicitly constructed as a counterweight to the MAGA-fied CPAC. But the programming also served to underscore the often-bleak, occasionally hopeless, existence that comes with being a modern day anti-Trump Republican. politico.com/news/2023/03/06…

.@BarbaraComstock, @SmithforAZ, @michaelwoodtx and @wd_lindsey on stage now for “Party as Institution: Can the GOP Survive?” Excellent discussion on the purpose of political parties and how we as citizens can hold them accountable.

Confirmed Speaker: @SmithforAZ
When election-denier Andy Biggs announced for re-election, Clint Smith took action. He ran a principled conservative grassroots campaign for Congress to defend the truth. We’re excited to have him at the Summit.
